Incidents of the Presidents Trip.

FROM the BROOKLYN SfdnddTd- CntOn.
DR.. J. G. Rosman and his wife, who went with
President and Mrs Cleveland to the Adirondack
region. returned last evening.
I'VE had delightful time" said the doctor
this morning. THE President and his wife Oc-
cupied the Gotham Cottage, and the rest of the
party remained at the Saranac Inn. Among
others who were there was Mr.. Edward V. Cruik-
shank, of SchemerhOrn street. He is scientific
fisherman, and was invited to join the Presi-
dent fishing party.
"A rather funny trick was played on the PreSi-
dent by one of the reporters, who resembled
him very much. AS the train ran into a station
on the way out the crowd yelled for the Presi-
dent, and the modest reporter stepped forth and
lifted his hat. One individual insisted on the
supposed head of the nation accepting a case of
wine that had remained buried beneath the cob
webs in his cellar for quarter of a century,
while another presented box of choice cigars.
The gifts were Of course accepted, and the coun-
try people went away satisfied that they had
been highly honored.
The President is not what you would call a
spoon. Mrs. Cleveland used TO accompany him
occasionally, but he has been married long
enough now to realize that there is no sport fish
ing with a pettcOat around, so he used to Just
steal away early in the morning and not show
up again until night. Ia the meanwhile Mrs.
Cleveland would sometimes drive out with Mrs,
Lamont and Mrs. Rosman, or the two would 90
rambling in the woods. very amusing Incl
dent occurred Monday, when the ladies were
hunting some wild flowers, not a great distance
from the hotel. They met milknaid and Mrs.
Cleveland said: I believe l could do her work.
DO try exclaimed one of her friends She drew
her undressed kid from her right hand and sat
on the stool, but unfortunately, not having had
experience, she placed the stool on the left side
of the cow. 1t must have been a Mugwump COW,
and had no respect for caste. The pail was half
full when her cowship placed a hind foot into il,
and Mrs. Cleveland's dress was badly soied."

scheming Pension Agents.

The impression is growing that pension
claim agents are the cause of the hostility
that some of the Grand Army people have
shown TO the proposed visit of the President
to st. Louis next October. 1t is believed
that these agents have scheme to present
another pauper pension bill to Congress next
winter, and they want the Grand Army at
its st. Louis encanpment to indOrse it, and
they are afraid that the Presidents presence
will defeat their plan.
Numerous efforts have been made TO have
the Grand Army endorse pension bills, and
a particularly strong effort has been made
to have the Grand Army posts condemn the
President for his veto of the dependent pen
sion bill All of these efforts have failed.
however, because the wiser and cooler heads
Of the organization have felt that as soon as
the Grand Army took an active part in
political matters its usefulness would be de
stroyed and it would in all probability 90 to
pieces.
The few loud-mouthed Grand Army men
who have been making themselves so conspic-
uous IN connection with the Presidents pro-
posed st. Louis visit are probably acting for
the INSCRIPTIONS pension claim agents at
Washington. If they are, they ought to be
exposed. The Grand Army ought to be
made acquainted with the selfish and de
signing members of their organization who
are more anxious to use it to advance their
own schemes than to promote its welfare.
The country approves the Presidents
course with respect to pension bills, and it is
propable that the great majority of the
Grand Army approve it. 1t is in accord
ance with justice and common sense. While
ne remains the chief executive the pension
claim agents will not fill their pockets out of
the public treasury.

A learned professor in a Georgia college
gave a student note not long ago, and said
to him: "Deliver this TO your father" The
student obeyed, and was rewarded by hear
ing the note read. 1t was as follows: at
would be money in your pocket to keep
your son at home. He will never learn any
thing except by observation.
The student in question was not fool
He was plodder, however, and his profess
sor was unfortunately unable to sympathize
with him. The student was kept at home,
and his classmates will miss him at the APP
preaching commencement.
II has passed into a proverb that the
brightest men in college are not often the
most successful in after life The plodder
may be the butt of his professors and col
lege mates but he often lives to redeem him
self and to take high rank among those who
direct the worlds affairs. In a Georgia
college, good many years ago, there was a
student who seemed unable to learn any
thing. During his first term he was derided
by his professors and his fellow-students, and
when he failed to rise into a higher
class he was advised by his friends to hire
himself to farmer as plowboy. He refused
to accept the advice, saying that he had en-
tered college with the intention of obtain
ing a diploma and that nothing less would
satisfy him. He was five years working for
what he wanted, and when success finally
rewarded his efforts he ranked lowest of his
class. To-day no other Georgian holds n
higher position as an educator and thinker.
His works on philosophical and ethical sub
iectS are widely known. He is besides one
of the most highly honored members of the
faculty of one Of the leading universities of
the country.
Those who laugh at the plodders should
remember the fable of the hare and the
tortoise. College professors who have had
long experience ought TO know that most Of
the chances are in favor Of the plodders,
and they ought also TO know that very
much that is worth knowing is learned by
observation. What is obtained from the
text books is the smallest part of a mans
education.

intensely interesting story, entitled mora

Mr.. T. X. Mcknight is Pittsburg iron
manufacturer who recently visited the
South. He was much impressed with the
wonderful industrial growth of Alabama
and Tennessee. He said, when he returned
to Pittsburg: "The fever to build in those
States is almost unparalleled. Capitalists
from the West, the North, and even from
England, are rushing into building iron
works of every description, wherever they
can secure foothold of available territory.
In the time | was there heard of fifty cor
porations with plans for building in the
near future. The country is literally alive
with schemes, and even tho natives are
forming companies to build works" Mr..
Mcknight is right about the activity which
prevails in Alabama and Tennessee, but his
statement that "even the natives are form
ing companies to build works" contains an
unjust implication. The natives" were the
first to ''build works." and their energy has
led 10 the remarkable development now in
progress

Kelley and Randall.

From the NeiC York Times (Rep.)
The humorous manner in which Judge Kelley
announces his intention to remain a candidate
for Congress from his district as long as he lives
could be INDUCED in only by a man who felt very
sure of his ground. Possibly Mr. Randall if he
were capable of humor. might indulge in a sim
liar statement. but the difference between the
two men would be that Mr.. Kelley has always
been in Congress a candid and faithful adherent
to his avowed principles. while Mr.. Randall has
been the supple tool of those to whom he pro-
fesSes to be opposed.

r. o. Willis, of Danville, KY, writes to
the New York Times that in the vicinity of
that town hemp raisers successfully employ
monkey labor in competition with that of
the negro. Perkins & Chrisman have a
force of eleven large monkeys of the semi
gorilla species found near Cape Town,
South Africa. Smith & Murphy have about
twenty-six. j. B. Parks, near Kingston,
KY, who introduced monkey labor into the
hemp fields of Kentucky, now has force
of seventeen. James Guthrie, of Shelby
vile, KY, has twelve. Other less ex-
tensive planters have from two to five
each. They do the work better than the
negro, ard at one-fourth of the cost. They
are taught very easily, as they are intelli-
gent, docile, and even affectionate The
average cost of the monkeys is $50 each
They are brought direct from Cape Town,
South Africa, to Pensacola, Fla, and from
that city are taken TO Lexington, KY,
where they are distributed throughout the
hemp fields. Hemp raising, with this new
species of cheap labor, is decidedly profit
able, which is not the case with free labor
